Enhancing geographic information

A special GIS server has been created to represent the flood risk in Philippines.

Why? The geographical localization and the exposition to meteorological events, the population density and the coastal concentration of urban centers, the landform, the quantity of rivers and their regimes, all these factors contribute to increase the flood risk level in Philippines.

What? The project objective is to use GIS technics to target and delimit zones in Philippines, where the flood risk is the most important.

Who? The Hyacinth Project is a result of the cooperation between Argongra and ACH(Action Against Hunger), an international NGO, which has one of its Head Quarters in Madrid.

How? A group of risk factors have been chosen and the data collected and processed, in order to target the most endangered zones.
